13,000 kids have been separated from their families now:Trump Administration Could Ramp Up Child Separations Again in New Form, Thanks to Stephen Miller
Trump Administration Could Ramp Up Child Separations Again in New Form, Thanks to Stephen Miller

Stephen Miller wants to separate families at the border again.
The White House is considering a new approach to deter families seeking to enter the country illegally at the southern border, using a system called “binary choice,” in which, according to the Washington Post, families who claimed asylum would be detained as a unit for “up to 20 days” and then parents would get the choice: “stay in family detention with their child for months or years as their immigration case proceeds, or allow children to be taken to a government shelter so other relatives or guardians can seek custody.”
The impetus for this, the Post reports, is frustration with an increase in unauthorized border crossings by migrant families, which had risen almost 40 percent in August to a “record level” and was expected to rise further in September.
White House adviser Stephen Miller, according to the Post, is the driving force behind the planning, because he viewed the much-critcized child separations in May and June as “an effective deterrent to illegal crossings.”
Any new policy that seeks to either separate parents from children or keep children in detention for more than 20 days would likely run into legal trouble because of a 1997 federal court settlement, expanded in 2015, that limits the government to detaining child migrants for no more than 20 days. The Post reports that federal officials are thinking of ways to get out from under the agreement to allow for longer periods of detention for asylum-seeking families with children.
Any large scale new detention policy would also require more infrastructure for housing—the Post reports that Immigration and Customs Enforcement has only three centers designed for families of migrants. In total, they can accommodate 3,000 people, about a quarter of the total crossings per month.

More Than 13,000 Flights Cancelled
Traffic in and out of airports and train stations from North Carolina to Boston have virtually shut down today, and may not be back in service until later this week.More Than 13,000 Flights Cancelled (ABC News)
At least 13,785 flights have been cancelled as a result of Hurricane Sandy, according to FlightAware, effectively shutting down commercial air traffic along the East Coast.These cancellations are creating a ripple effect that is being felt across the entire country, forcing delays as far west as Seattle and San Francisco. Sandy is even grounding planes in Europe where flights to the U.S. are being canceled because their destination airports are shut down.
Plans to travel via train have been derailed, as Amtrak has shut down all East Coast service. On a typical day, over 300 trains would be running.
"You prepare, you prepare, you prepare, and then they can change," Kelly Bab, a traveler in Philadelphia, told ABC News.
Hurricane Sandy: Live Storm Tracker
Some air traffic control towers are already closed. They are New Haven Brainard and Groton-New London in Connecticut; Northeast Philadelphia in Pennsylvania; Atlantic City in New Jersey and Wilmington in Delaware.
"The FAA's top operational priority is to quickly re-establish air traffic service to support disaster relief efforts," the FAA told ABC News today."Following the storm, the FAA will conduct a damage assessment of air traffic facilities and navigational aids and set priorities to quickly repair or re-establish any damaged critical navigational aids or facilities," it said.
On a normal Monday there are approximately 10,000 airline flights in the states on the eastern seaboard from North Carolina to Massachusetts. Today flightaware.com has tracked 700 so far, and expects no more than 3,000.The eye of Sandy is forecast to make landfall late Monday night in Atlantic City, N.J., bringing with it life-threatening storm surges and intense winds and rain, all of which will cripple transportation.
The passengers who have become stranded as the storm slowly makes its way north are for the most part taking the delays in stride.
"It's not the airlines' fault, you can't really control the weather," one passenger in San Francisco said. "Just go with the flow."On Sunday, Jet Blue and United Airlines moved their planes out of the strike zone, where they will remain until Tuesday. But at low-lying airports like New York's LaGuardia and Kennedy International Airport, which are located next to water, there is also concern about the storm's surge.
"The thing we're going to be watching very, very closely is the flooding and the flood potential here in New York," Jet Blue COO Rob Maruster said. "With these airports basically at sea level, that poses a major risk to us."Maruster said that the delays at the airport are likely to last through later of this week.
"It'll take us a couple days, probably until at least Thursday, if not Friday, to get back to normal with something this large," he said.For now, travelers are just going to have to wait.end quote from:More Than 13,000 Flights Cancelled - Yahoo News

13,000 BC
When I tried to actually research the comet impact that my wife was talking about online that supposedly happened in 7021 BC I wasn't able to find it. It is possible that this research is somewhere else, I don't know but the event I was able to find scientific coroboration for with three addresses

First an explosion as powerful as thousands of megatons of TNT rained meteorites down on North America. Then forest fires broke out across the continent, sending up a thick layer of soot and dust that blocked out the sun. A sudden ice age ensued, and some of the Earth’s largest animals went extinct in a blink of geological time.
It’s well-known that a meteorite colliding with Earth is considered the most likely reason why dinosaurs died off 65 million years ago. Now a team of scientists says it has found new evidence that a comet triggered a similar extinction much more recently: 13,000 years ago, when humans were around to witness the event and suffer its terrible consequences.
The researchers also think that when the comet exploded above the planet’s surface—ultimately killing off mammoths, saber-toothed tigers and other large mammals that roamed North America—Chicago wasn’t far from ground zero.
“If you’d been in Chicago back in that time, it would’ve been one very bad day,” said Allen West, an Arizona geophysicist and one of the authors of a paper appearing Friday in the journal Science. end quote.
If this is true then any developed civilization in North America 13,000 years ago would have likely been wiped out at that time along with most large animals and humans unsheltered by caves or underground tunnels. Also, the oxygen might have been temporarily removed from extreme combustion so there might have been no oxygen temporarily at that time as well(at least on the surface for humans or other creatures exposed to outside air).
